Stanton Heights is the home of PBF 7 Engine and the city's Arson Investigation Units, and is covered by PBP Zone 5 and the Bureau of EMS Medic 6.

Stanton Heights is located east of Downtown, with convenient access to Highland Park and Liberty Avenue and Butler Street shopping districts.

The result is that this neighborhood, set at the top of Stanton Avenue, with the character of a suburb, has new homes, quiet streets with little to no traffic, and no commercial area at all.

While Stanton Heights does not have its own neighborhood business district, residents have plenty of shopping choices nearby.

Stanton first made a name for himself years earlier as the lawyer who helped to preserve Pittsburgh's position as the hub of the steamboat industry.
